Fish Tank Weed

Sounds like you got plenty! I'm starting to have too many as well.... keep cutting my 2 mothers to keep them small but they are putting out like 5 cuttings a week each and I don't have the heart to not try to clone them. I have gotten really lazy with it though lol

yes the yeild will tied me over till the next one i hope, by the time havest comes around i should have more ready to replace them. ordering netpots today to replace the rigged up net cones i have...the small holes in the cone cut off one on the taps roots on a beautiful little girl i have

hello,

i have raise the light 2 more links (about 5 inches) since last update. the fish tank is gettign nasty, i did a 50% water change and the water was crystal clear, but i have to get a scrubber and clean the tank iots self. the fish is finally starting to eat. the roots are hgh, i cant even get them out the hole. i am looking into a new grow tank. i plan on moving this into my closet for better control of the light schedule, plus i really need to open my living room windows lol.i am thinking that it is a little undernourised, it has a similar sister(my mother plant) and she is in a top drip system with gh nutes, she is twice the size, but this is a fun experiment, and i think it will do ok, i am goona grow it out as a second mother, i have a 400 hps flower room and a small box, i will flower her clones in the small box and the others under the 400.

this plant has grown about 8 inches up and about 6 inches out since i started it for clone(was a top of a differnt plant RIP...damn light) as i said the roots from 0 to filling the box it is in

thanks to all for keeping up

here are pics:

lol I liked how it was in the beginning, just sitting in the fish tank. Takes up less space too.

btw how exactly are your plants getting the nutrients it needs?

i perferd it in the begingin too, but hte fish were eatiing the roots, and everyone told me that the light would hurt th roots.

the fish poduces the nute via it shit i guess, then it is pumped to the top and flows back dowm constantly, i am thining of starting to folar mist it, that way maybe i can get some more grow out of her, and mybe even flower, also had thoughts of organics, anyone know?

thanks for checking

As far as the nutes to flower it, I was thinking. Would a folar feeding of something like the Morbloom, 0-10-10 work? As far as I know, the fish poops N not P or K. Just wondering

yes thank you i was thinking the same...the fish's shit turns to nitrates, i was thinking along the same linnes of folilar feeding, i will look into morbloom thamnks for th esuggestion.

hello.

i started 12/12. i am trying foilar feeding with ff nutes(had em on hand). ik moved everything into my closet for light proofing and my inlaws are ccomming.

wish me luck eh?

Nice job! I had fish tanks all my life, I can see this working. I like the idea of maybe adding a few more fish as she gets bigger. Good luck...keep updateing on here.

Beautiful setup soo far, if you pull it off, I'd shake your hand. Good luck bro.

Just don't let your fish eat all your roots up ha.

hello,

it has been a while sine i last posted yall on the fishtank weed. i have started to flower it a weekago or so, on june 25th.i moved it into my closet to make for a light tight enviornmaent. i added 2 more 42w cfl 2700k and another 23wcfl 6500k(not shown). i have been foliar feeding with foxfarms bloom nutes. my beta is still living, he is doing well. the stones int he bottom were getting covered in algea so i removed them.

This could work but there's a couple problems I see. First your roots are exposed to light and totally submerged so their going to get root rot. You don't have enough aeration going on.

how do you figure that? i have done multiple grows in an aeroflo, and the roots grow well into the reservoir being completely submerged...never have i ever had root rot because of fully submerged roots.

btw, the grow looks fantastic. my hats off to ya

Looking good - is it yellowing somewhat or just the flowering lights? Also - where is teh root porn?

yes it is yellowing somewhat, i am thinking htat the one lil fish is not quite enough to supply nutes for the plant as it has grown, i have to add about 1 quart of water every few days, i was gonna get bio nutes to try but i am low on funds for htem, so i will try it next time. the flowers have begun to show, not huge but they have begun. i took some photos for ya rucca

it is yellowing but still doing ok, not dying by no meeans.

thanks for keeping up.
